Twin summer PC build!

Heya! First salary of the summer is coming, and the tax returns are in! So its finally time to upgrade my PC. At the same time as ordering my PC, I will also be building one for my younger cousin! 

"My" rig, I will be gaming (BF4, CS:GO, HoN, WoW, D3) and doing some work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Premiere

 

CPU: Intel i5 4690K

MoBo: Asus Z97-A 

RAM: 16Gb Hyper-X Fury

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 2Gb (planning for another one further along the road)

PSU: Corsair RM750

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 250Gb

HDD WD Blue 1Tb

 

Price: 9497SEK

Any suggestions on changes? Im still trying to choose a cooler for the CPU, would love some help on that one! Planning som light OCing.

 

"Cousins" rig. He will be gaming (LoL, HoN, Minecraft, CS:GO)

 

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 (anniversary edition)

MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3

Thanks for the input guys! Haven't put together a new rig for over five years now, so I'm still a bit rusty. Figured it was best to ask for some input! :) Yeah, i was considering the H100i. But my friend has one, and its so damn noisy, even with the stock fans replaced by noctuas... Ive been looking a bit at the NH-D15/D-14 as well!

The D14/D15 coolers are great options, another good air cooler to consider would be the Cooler master Dark Rock Pro 3. Just be aware of any RAM clearance issues that you may encounter.
